While I was very excited to hear XCOM was getting a sequel, I was a litte taken back by the video released to promote the sequel. In thThere was a statue where humas and aliens were together, but that wasn't all th...

Gardevoir is now awake.
Here she is at the lake.
Check out her tiny rake.
Did you know she likes to bake?
Sometimes girl just wants a steak.
Even she could use a break.
Ekans is a purple snake.
mmmm mmm delicious cake

I'm ready to argue that one button fatalities are awesome. When I saw that DLC was available to simplify them, I was super down for it. Mortal Kombat Trilogy has this feature included as a really awesome che...

I've been experimenting with you tube videos, since playsation let me recod straight out of it and upload videos, I did that, three times. I'm not the best player, but I'd like to hope I'm much funnier and more entertain...

Topher told me on twitter to tell my friends, so I'm posting this. We are still friends.
I'm not super into anime, but I got enough of the gags to like it. Topher's an awesome guy, he used to do work here on Destructoid. Tomopop still uses the beedog as their mascot, which is awesome.
I'm joking, I am super into anime.

"We are all in this together, but we all die alone."
I might be one of the harshest dudes talking nothing but garbage about Destructoid. It's awful at times, some of the allegations against the place are just cri...

Having an allegiance to a sports team is stupid. I am stupid for doing it. It's like rooting for Clorox to do well on the stock exchange or something. But I grew up with a love for baseball. Not because my par...

What started as a simple allegation of a game creator having exchanged sexual favors spiraled into everyone becoming aware of how terrible people are online. Yes, this is a human problem. I'm not sure if the game develop...

Hi my name is randombullseye, I play video games.
Blood Will Tell - Playstation 2
Longtime readers know I really liked this game, but never finished it. Luckily I lost the yellow memory card that had my save on it, so I g...

Longtime readers know I really liked this game, but never finished it. Luckily I lost the yellow memory card that had my save on it, so I got to start all over again.†

Here is a list of companies that make videogames sometimes, as described by Google's autocomplete. #JOURNALISM

"Ubisoft is milking Assassins Creed" That picture says it all.
"Nintendo is doomed" †Naturally.
Capcom is...

We just doled out a mess of game of the year awards, and they're all lovely games. That said, they're not necessarily all my favorite games of 2013. So, in the interest of full disclosure or something, here were the games I...

In theory, a videogame is really just a computer program made up of electronic signals, creating light that moves in different patterns on a television screen.†
BUT. With that said, I've always been a big fan of both box art...

I've been playing videogames for the vast majority of my life, and some of my most fondest memories involve gaming in some capacity or other.†
Today, I want to share a simple story with you guys about one of my favoruite m...

What is up Destructiod? This blog is about The Last of Us which is a videogame you can play. It is basically like that documentary called Tekken starting Qui Gon Jinn. In it you play as a man who has a job in human traffick...

Update: Dragon's Crown also deserves a spot on this list. And from what I've played of Killzone Mercenary it'll be on here too.
We're a little over halfway through the year. Seems like a good time to do some reflecting or wh...

In a word: disappointed.
I went into this E3 rather interested. Please notice that I specifically did not say excited. I watched the conferences by Microsoft, Ubisoft and Sony as well as Nintendo's Direct and Destructoid's v...

Short and sweet:†
Microsoft clarified the details regarding the Xbox One's policies regarding used games, DRM, etc. I have to say, it's even worse than I expected. I admit that I'm not a MS fan but I was still interested in t...

So according to a wired interview, the xbox one will only use discs to install games one time. Then those discs are locked to your account. If you pass those to a friend a "fee" will be charged to them to install that disc.†

This case is very interesting for several reasons.†
Iíve been searching around trying to find a legal precident for this, but I canít find one. If this goes to court and is ruled on, then say goodbye to letís play videos. ...

Story 1) The story of Chloe Sagal makes me feel awful, but I read a lot about it.
†A person who developed an independent game I never played, has some medical issues. Some sort of metal lodged in their person requiring sur...

Iím no lawyer nor am I a morally rightious person. I play a lot of video games, my name is Charlie. I'm an ignorant man, but I want to be more learned. I want to appeal to logic, as the culture of video games folds in on it...

The stars aligned last week! I had a house full of friends, a GameCube, 4 GBA SPs, 4 gamelink cables and a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.
I bought this game when it originally released but never reall...

I like wasting my time I guess.
Etryian Odyssey 3 - DS
Ugh, I hate losing progress on a game, but the difficulty of the game is in losing progress. I love fighting against a game.
This game is a nightmare to try to play ...

Every month I write what I played on my ipod, but I've been busy doing things. But not really, I've been in a dark place emotionally I guess. It sort of came out in this writing.
I've been trying to post this for three weeks...

So, I finally finished Skyward Sword. To be honest, I cannot recall any other game leading me to such disparate feelings. In fact, Skyward Sword is both the best and worst game in The Legend of Zelda series.

Videogames probably aren't real life. Link never has to worry about smelling terrible after jogging halfway across Hyrule. Diddy Kong eats plenty of bananas, but never has any poop to throw at anybody. (Sad, I know.) I thin...

So, I'm late to the party on Skyward Sword. I traded my Wii in shortly after the release of Warioland: Shake it! due to the lack of interest I had in any upcoming games. I recently purchased a Wii U for a nice price and wan...
